Bootilicious Burlesque – A New Year’s Resolution?

Monday, January 14th, 2013

Burlesque!

You’re dressed (well, half dressed) in a suspender belt that reaches down to hold your thigh high stockings, trimmed in floral laced elastic. These black, silky stockings subtly stretch down towards your stiletto heels. Your boobage clusters together in a corset, like two perfectly smooth round eggs. Your blossoming boobs are perfectly accentuated by a corset-induced waist. Whisk on a pair of elbow length satin gloves, throw in a feather boa, mix in some music and you’ll be baking for two in no time.

I tend not to make new years’ resolutions, as most of the time, they’re a waste of time. I recently went to a girlfriend’s hen’s night where a burlesque dance lesson was a mandatory requirement, and decided that this coming year is the year to introduce something new to my wondrous world of wanderlust! It’s not a New Year’s resolution as such, but rather something that I have found to be a catching concept.

Burlesque is an art form just like other types of dancing. Just ask your other half, he’ll agree. Not only did I have so much fun with the same sex learning, but having applied my new learned skills at home with the opposite sex, it’s agreed; ‘Whatever that is, bring back more!’

Burlesque makes the most of your curves, and it will be appreciated I promise. But like everything, preparation is key and so here are just a couple of tips. When surprising your man with burlesque, it is important to avoid bodies but rather go for two pieces, such as a bra and brief set as these are more ‘elegantly’ removed, avoiding any awkward moves …. BUT if a body is a must, then slowly remove the gloves, stockings and shoes, and let him do the rest! By the way, you could also include a little mask to add to the appeal such as the Saphir Mask. If you’re really daring, leave the mask on …

I was really surprised one Christmas when my Aunty gave me a couple of extremely sexy thongs.  I think I would have been in my early 20’s and anyone over the age of 35 seems old when you’re that young!  So firstly I was shocked that my Aunty was even thinking ‘sexy’ – I mean wasn’t she too old for that?!  And what was she playing at?  Had she discussed this with mum?

Gents Glossary For Lingerie

Sunday, December 5th, 2010

Don’t know your bustier from your babydoll then check out the  Plums Lingerie Gents’ Glossary.

Bras From brassiere comes the slang term for a supportive breast covering that ‘holds ‘em up’.  Bras have become a favourite undergarment for women to wear every day.  Here are several bra styles:

Balcony/Balconette: A bra with a less coverage that lifts the breasts up and out, such as a shelf.

Plunge: A plunge bra brings the breasts together for a deep cleavage effect. Often plunge bras are padded to give a little extra oomph.

Padded: If her boobs are smaller, then a padded bra will add support and cup size for a fuller appearance.

Push-up: Provide lift.  As the name suggests, this bra pushes the breasts up and out for a curvy look.

Full Cup: Big breasted women need a full cup to support those big guns.  The straps are usually wider and the bra features more hooks in the back.

Briefs: Basically, this is underwear. Here are several styles:

Bikini Briefs: These are conservative and cover up more of the front and backside.  To make them more exciting, find bikini briefs with lace, satin or bright prints.

G-String: This scandalous piece of cloth is just a string that barely covers up the front and has no more than a string in the back. Rarely the safest choice when gift buying.

Thong: Like the G-String, except it has a slightly wider stretch of cloth around the side and the back.

Shorts: Often called boy shorts, these little briefs sit low below her waist and look like mini men’s underwear, except sexier.

Basque: The French started this one. These are a combination between a bra and a corset, underwired to support the bust and boned down the torso. At the bottom there are attachments for stockings. IF you do buy one don’t forget to include a pair of stockings.

Bustier: Form-fitting like a basque, but shorter and without attachments for stockings.

Nightgowns: Come in a variety on styles and lengths.

Chemise: Quite simply, this is a one-piece ladies undergarment, often called a slip.

Babydoll: A short nightgown that is loose from under the bust and either has soft or underwire cups for the bust.

Negligee: A nightgown, which is a loose-fitting dress meant to be worn in the bedroom or generally prancing around like Rita Hayworth or some other Hollywood icon.

Gown: A full length nightgown usually more structured than a negligee. Available in everything from see-through to slinky.

Robe: Meant to be worn as a cover up over lingerie or nothing at all!

Dressing gown: This is generally a modest robe or longer gown meant to cover up with. All too frequently seen in towelling, please note anything in towelling can not be regarded as an appropriate gift for your gorgeous beloved.

Have you stopped buying thongs?

Or Do You Think More Woman Are Buying These?

Simone Perele Andora Briefs
So Would you Choose These?

So the news is thongs are out and big pants are in…. Rigby & Peller, which made the big briefs worn by Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones, has recorded a 15 per cent swing from thongs to larger styles this year.
Online retailer Figleaves says sales of such items are up 28 per cent in the past 12 months. Both outlets are now selling about two pairs of fuller briefs or shorts for every thong. I think the figures make it sound like women have move from skimpy thongs to hi-waisted granny pants with in a couple of years.  We are selling a higher proportion of short and proper pants than thongs but I can’t see thongs falling out of favour completely.  As much as many lingerie companies claim you can’t see their full briefs under trousers the only way of being completely certain of not having VPL is to wear a thong.  The larger briefs have become more popular due to the number of gorgeous shorts companies like Simone Perele have included in their collections rather an explosion in women wanting to look like the shapely females out of Mad Men.  There are briefs that solve a problem by giving you a smooth line and suck in that tum so when you put on that slinky dress you feel fabulous but then there a briefs that make you feel sexy. There is room in every lingerie drawer for every style of briefs and there will definitely be space for thongs and shorts but for a while I will resist the serious shapewear.  How about you?  Tried thongs once and didn’t get on with them?  Wouldn’t be seen dead in in regular knickers?
